I had asked a question about an outdoor haunt and what security steps needed to be taken to prevent theft. One good answer I got was to have security staff on site 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Those who staffed security would sleep in RV's or tents.

If you did not have enough securty staff to have protection 24/7, you could work with local police and see if officers could drive through your haunt every hour of the day or at least a couple of times a day.

JBCorn was a haunter in Texas who owned Castle Dragon. His 4 books and 3 videos were the results of years of experience.

His books are VERY construction plan heavy, almost no prop work. There is simply no other books on the market today or in the past which stressed construction methods or safe operation. There are some superb techniques haunters would be work looking into. For example, his lighting used Malibu low voltage lighting and he also had alternates to the use of foam.

The books are as follows:
1 how to build a portable dark attraction in a parking lot
2 marketing and promotional tips
3 advanced construction (facade and deck building, mainly)
4 forgot the name, but it is business and operations manuals along with some fantastic articles he wrote on the years of haunting.

The 3 videos would complement the first 3 books as well.

JBCorn died about 4 years ago of leukemia. He was also one of the original founders of IAHA and stressed safety and care in the attractions.

The Corn family I am grateful to in allowing the books and videos to go to the world. JBCorn was always one to help out other haunters, and these books and videos belong to the world in education.
